Sloppy Joes!

For some reason I can never say "sloppy joes" without instantly thinking of Adam Sandler singing the sloppy joe song while Chris Farley dances around in a hair net.  If you want to see the famous Lunch Lady Land skit, here it is:  Lunch Lady Land
Anyways, the other day a friend of mine told me that she has NEVER had a sloppy joe that didn't come out of a can.  REALLY???  I decided to put an end to that one, fast!  Sloppy joes are really very simple to make from scratch and it tastes a million times better than something you plop out of a can onto a bun.  Go ahead and give my grandmother's recipe a try.  You might actually like sloppy joes :o)
